BostonZip Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 Scoreboard constuction pics...http://www.uakron.edu/information/stadium/Nice! Think that back-lighted UA athletics logo is two-sided? Would be way cool to see it also facing Exchange Street, maybe at the very top of the entire scoreboard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbozeglav Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 Ill see if I can sneak into the UA site and snag high-res versions of those photos on that page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BostonZip Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 +1 I don't think there will be any lawn seating available this season. Just make it look good for TV.Agree. Let it get established for a year.Maybe they could paint A K R O N on the grass in big white block letters, kind of in homage to the Rubber Bowl/Fulton Airport.http://www.flickr.com/photos/98131992@N00/3524581902/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckzip Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 Is the scoreboard still going to be framed in brick like the original photos? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt they would fit but it would be cool to take the actual concrete from the RB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets put it in block letters with concrete. That would give the students something extra easy to slip on. Future phone call....."Hi Mom, I just paid for the rest of my education and living expenses for the rest of my life.........split my head open on the concrete K on the hill behind the south endzone."

If they don't need it for students on openning day...they may not need it at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipfan85 Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Unless they put up a fence, i don't see no way they will keep the students off that hill. security would have to escort them out of the stadium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bUAkronG Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 There are going to be two open houses in August to tour the completed stadium I don't know the dates yet, though.Any idea how to get involved in them? I'd love to do this since I'm living in AK for the summer.Looks like another layer is going on the endzone buildings! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zipmeister Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Is the scoreboard still going to be framed in brick like the original photos?I was told "Not at this time, possibility for the future"That sucks. The scoreboard in the picture looks very classy.One thing that I think looks a little goofy is that the support poles for the railing at the edge of the stands run perpendicular to the slope of the stands (rather than perpendicular to the ground as shown in the renderings). I don't recall any other nice venue with this particular look.....Goofy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The entire rail/fence going around the upper grandstands looks rather cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
